II.1.5)Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
This notice launches the competition for the provision of education services at five Young Offender Institutions (YOI's) (Lots). Bidders who initially respond to this notice and successfully meet the Authority's minimum pre-qualification criteria, will be shortlisted for the next stage of the competition (the Invitation to Participate in Dialogue (ITPD)) to provide education services at the five Young Offender Institutions (Lots) specifically identified in this notice.
The YOIs for which the Ministry of Justice (the ‘Authority’) wishes to procure the services are: HMPYOI Cookham Wood, HMPYOI Feltham, HMPYOI Werrington, HMPYOI Wetherby and HMPYOI Hindley.
The education services required at each YOI cover the initial assessment and on-going management of educational needs for each young offender, from initial reception and induction, through to the time of transfer or release. The successful Bidders will be required to address many other key issues that lie at the heart of delivering education in a custodial environment, such as an awareness of security and discipline, the provision of a safe and decent environment and care for young offenders including working to prevent bullying or gang-related violence. An understanding of the challenges and complexities of educating an unstable and challenging cohort of young people will also be required. The successful Bidders will be expected to interface with custodial, healthcare and other providers to facilitate an integrated service for young offenders; for example, by ensuring educational needs and progress are captured as part of the case management of young offenders to support resettlement objectives. There will also be a need to ensure there is educational representation at senior levels to ensure education is embedded at the heart of YOI regime.
Further detail on the scope of the YOI Education Provision Project is also set out in Section VI.3 and in the Authority's request for information (RFI) (see section V1.3 for how to obtain the RFI). Bidders should refer to the RFI for further detail on Tendering and Award restrictions.
